Readers vent over driving habits

Dear Readers: Today’s Sound Off is about people and their driving habits. — Heloise

“Dear Heloise: Driving a vehicle can become so familiar that some people naturally get a little careless about using their turn signals, coming to a complete stop at stop signs and tailgating other drivers. But those pale when compared with cellphones: texting and answering calls. A couple of years ago, on graduation night from high school, five young girls were killed when the driver was texting behind the wheel. Five young lives gone in only a few seconds; five families who had to bury otherwise healthy, young daughters. If you are driving, Don’t answer your phone and don’t text! Whatever the phone call or text is about, it can wait until you’ve stopped driving.” — Joanie in California.
